Is it permissible to bury two or more people in one grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Shaykh Khalil.

Answer : Yes, if there is a pressing need. A person from another country. Even if he is a foreigner, because when a person dies, the obligation of religious duties is lifted. However, our jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said that if two or more are buried, a barrier of earth is placed between each one. There is no problem if there are partitions between them.
